My final love


The final drips of the love in my blood,
Have gone into never; never to be seen again.
I have waited a life-time for someone to love,
But I have nothing left to give to a...

Sybil Madison
	(her stage name)
	And Bernie Dodds
	(real name)
	Weren’t nobodies.
	She had been in pictures,
	He directed 
	And wrote a few.
	You remember-
	Those great lines in
	Down In The Trenches
	And she- that look she gave Cary.

	They live high in a palm...

Tom Mboya, son of Ndiege
From the craggy islands of Rusinga
--the craddle of his progenitors
He sprouts like avens in the loamy knoll
And out to the urbs he sets off his journey
A parlous journey to his martyrdom

Look...

look at the state of you
your face turned up
as if i were rotten
saying your a bloody mess
one's heart falls in hurt
a deep churning pain
in its ache

hunting me back home 
deep inside 
i begin to cry
mopping...

No intentions of being misleading
Could go by bleeding
Is one way of leaving
As the heart stops beating
And the lungs stop breathing

Also could be caused from exsanguination

Across a pagan nation
Could go by strangulation
Which'll cause and make abrasions
With...

Tomorrow coming and that's fate,
What a set back, 
Turn of events in...

She Woke up Pregnant

She started out like any other weekday on her way to school,

Excited about the award she won for her poem titled "Nobodies fool".

Now her poem was about her struggles from the environment...

I think sharp,
Making sure i penetrate through the sun,
Just to see what's on the other side,
What's manipulating the light, 
The fight of survival, 
The fight with spirit and that's your given rifle, 
they fire shots...

A Look Back at Eighteen Months Here-The Show is Over

When your poems reside in a shoe,
like mine,
pounding the pavement to nowhere.
The onset of blisters isn't imagined.
Those blisters take roots,
hindering your motivation
to move-
and to continue to...

I see an aging Panagiota with the soul of a youth.
Untouched by hatred~yet despised for, as she's always telling the truth.

Utterly, unwilling to be a crowd pleaser.
She has grown to know the hollow emptiness of...

I reflect from the beginning,
Damn all the grades,
My teachers never understood me,
My peers out casted me,
In class, man i was on my own dimension , 
Journeying through vast amounts of space
Encountering black wholes, 
while hiding...

THE AMERICAN DILEMMA 
by
JOHN M. ARRIBAS



There was a time when the town crier spread the news
Terse, straight, unfiltered, unbiased with no personal views
Alas, those times have disappeared into days of yore
We now have more news...

Grappling with the facts just to try and get a kick in,

Listening to the style like damn that dude just fell off,
Shit making me so sick,...

Tanks

"Da Tanks, da Tanks."
The President is not Chairman Mao.  
Come on now!
Gads, what an ungrateful nation!

Perhaps haughty Don Lemon or
that court jester, Jim Acosta,
Two snobby nobodies behind 
a mike, turning brains to mush
every night,
Could please each...

I don’t do all I am told, questions I always ask.
If I do, my friends take me to task.
Not me, I, in independence, do bask!

I do mean those in your face with a bang!

Love Lust and 
a broken heart

Robot feelings
and missing parts

rotten insides 
and bloodstained art

we stand together but
we're worlds apart

Divided by the sun and moon
high on sadness 
lost in gloom
toxic energy immune
baby growing in a poisoned womb
we...
